CHARGED WITH FRAUD
IN HEMET LAND DEAL
MRS. MARY A. ROGERS TO
APPEAR FOR TRIAL
Must Answer for Transactions Con-
nected with Late j. Newton Bunch,
Who Committed Suicide
Last Sunday

Mrs. Mary A. Rogers, charged by
Joseph b. Alexander with obtaining
money under false pretenses, was ar
raigned before Justice Summertield
yesterday and her examination set for
November -. She was released on
her own recognizance.
Il Immediately filed an affidavit
showing that had nothing to do with
any illegal act on the part of myself
or Others" Mrs. Rogers said. 'Wher-
ever l have discovered my name has
been used for the purpose of defraud-
ing any person [ have made reStitu-
tion and will continue to do So"
That T. Newton Bunch did not take
his own life by swallowing morphine in
Manhattan Beach for fear of justice
overtaking him, but from temporary
insane idea that he was benetiting
others, is the view taken of the act
of the deceased by his widow. Mrs.
Matte NJ Bunch, and his son, Fred G.
Bunch. They say he only desired to
save her from dishonor, and thought
that taking his own life was the best
thing that he could do. In letter to
Mrs. Bunch, written just previous to
his demise the deceased 1nclosed the
following oath:
II solemnly swear that the man who
caused my arrest was warned as to the
real value of the land in question be-
fore the papers were passed and that
he has been trying to work them off on
others ever since he tried to bribe me
to assist him, and he gave Mr.. Call a
written agreement to pay him 500 to
misrepresent the value of the land.
The letter stated that to have given
himself up to the officers would have
compelled him to implfcate others who
We're not the guilty parties, if he would
have saved himself. He also stated
that Mrs. Rogers was innocent and that
she had put her money into the land
not knowing what she was doing.
And yet" the letter goes on, "how
could [ prove it without duplicating
others? ] would rather go into the
great unknown than to cause suffering
to another. 1t is on your account that

Acid and Alkali
In the Stomach
Digest the Food Naturally if
in Right Proportion; if Not,
Then Dyspepsia

Acid and alkali make up the liquid
known as gastric juice, which dlgests
your food.
If through abuse of the stomach, or
weakness of blood or through scores of
other causes this gastric juice is not
made up correctly of acid and alkali,
your stomach cannot digest food.
Such a stomach then acts as a pit
where the food lies, ferments, decays,
is thrown off at last, either into the
intestines or is vomited from the sys-
ten.
If thrown into the intestines a large
proportion of ii is taken up and passed
into the blood. for the intestines are
covered on the inside surfaces with
millions of little mouths which are
placed there to suck up noruishment
for the blood.
You may readily see that if instead
of good rich nourishment there is vile,
poisonous, fermented bile and acid,
these same little mouths suck some of
il by necessity and pass it into the
blood. The blood in turn throws it off
and the system is Immediately placed
in an imperfect state.
The blood is weakened the tissues
lose strength. the skin becomes diseased
and man in general suffers in score
of places.
Then again the blood furnishes gas
gastric juice is not needed for digestive
purposes it goes back to the blood.
When food comes into the stomach the
nerves along the Alimentary Canal and
in the mouth signal the brain for help,
and the blood Immediately furnishes
sufficient gastric juice to do the work
well and quickly.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets go into
the stomach balance the gastric juice,
digest the food, are taken up by the
blood, purify it, and when the food
comes again to the stomach a natural
gastric juice of right proportion greets
it and does its work perfectly. After
a time these little tablets restore Ma
ture, build up the gastric juice and
there is no longer dyspepsia.
Every druggist carries them in stock,
price soc; every druggist and 10000 ply
sicians will attest their word to the
merit of these tablets. Buy d box now
and relieve your stomach at once, or

No action will be taken looking toward
