Orange St. Residence
 Scene Of Wild Party
Six Arrests Follow Disturbance Sunday Night Free=
 fOr=All-WOnlan Injured in Fracas

There was a party in na Orange street house, last night, but the six guests today found their names on the police blotter instead of the so- cial columns. The reason is that police didn't think it at all the kind Of party that should be held on a quiet Sunday night, or for that mat ter any night.
 When Patrolman Dennis Carey was strolling up Orange street last night, he heard what according to him cannot be adequately describ- ed as noise but must be labelled by a word that will include in it's meaning such things as commo- ton, bedlam, general screaming and hysterical outburts, crashes of articles in the process of being broken and general clamor. Since even the best dictionaries don't list such a word, just noise" will have to do.
 House in Disorder
 The. policeman went into the house., ducking flying debris in the process and found the entire in- terior what could not even be po- litely called shambles. It was. in the most conservative of terms, mass. There were chairs broken. lamps smashed, tables overturned, windows shattered and miscellane- ous articles either flying through the air reposing on the floor. in

pieces. To add color to the pretty domestic interior, there was blood over almost everything, including the six people.
 Every one of the six had an in- jury of some sort or other, the pa trolman found as he separated the combatants from the furniture and one another. Mary Hackerman, wife of Matthew Hackerman, who was also in on the party, had huge lump on her head. put there, she claims, by milk bottle wield- ed by one of the guests. Nicholas DeCicco, 29, of 140 Orange street, had a cut on his head that requir- cd four stitches to close. Another woman, Mrs Selmar Hackerman, was cut and bruised about the face.
 Four Under Arrest
 The four of them were lodged at police headquarters and charged With drunkenness and breach Of peace. Two others were likewise booked. Harold Trepannier of Wall street and James Blain of Bishop street. but they were given noiles in city court today, The original four, however, had their cases con- tinued a day. to give Mrs Matthew Hackerman time for further treat ment at St. Mary's hospital. They will be allowed to tell all about the party to Judge Edward Mas colo tomorrow morning.
 Police say that refreshments were served at an early hour.

WAKE UP YOUR LIVER BIlE- WITHOUT CALOMEL And You'll Jump Out of Bed in
 the Morning Karin to Go

If you feel sour and sunk and the world looks punk, don't swallow . lot of salts, rnin- eral water, oil, laxative candy or chewing gum and expect them to make you suddenly sweet and buoyant and full of sunshine. <
 For they can't do it. They only move the bowels and . mere movement doesn't get at the cause. The reason for your down-and-out feeling is your liver. It should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily.
 If this bile is not flowing freely, your food doesn't digest It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach. You have . thick, bad taste and your breath is foul, skin often breaks out in blemishes. Your head aches and you feel down and out. Your whole system is poisoned.
 It takes those good. old CAMPERS LITTLE LIVER PILLS to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you feel "up and up." They contain wonderful, harmless, gentle vegetable extracts, amazing when it comes to making the bile flow freely.
 But don't ask for liver pills. Ask for Carter:s Little Liver Pills. Look for the name Carter's Little Liver Pills on the red label. Resent . substitute. 25cat drug stores. c 1881 c. M. Co.
