part of their OWE vast continent. For

found that an upheaval Of 100 faith
ems would serve to join the land
once more together But the curious
fact remains that in spite Of their
common origin and ancient connec-
tion New Guinea and Australia are
peoplod by different races, showing
that the former must have been Wis
isted for the first time by human be
ings after the separation from the
mainland Of Australia took place.

PRESSED HARD.
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When people realize the injurious
effects of coffee and the change in
health that Postum can bring, they are
usually glad to lend their testimony
for the benefit of others.
My mother, since her early child
hood, was an inveterate coffee drinker,
had been troubled with her heart for a
number of years and complained Of
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago l was making a
visit to a distant part of the country
and took dinner with one of the
merchants of the place. / noticed a
somewhat unusual favour of the 'cof-
fee and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum.
Il was SO pleased with it that, after
the meal was over, bought a package
to carry home with me, and had wife
prepare some for the next meal The
whole family We're so well pleased
with it that we discontinued coffee and
used Postum entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior to it's
use, and had little trouble with her
heart, and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not SO frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was well and
hearty.
II know Postum has benefited my.
self and the other members Of the fam.
lily, but not in so marked a degree as
in the case OF my mother, as she was a
victim Of long standing" Name given

AZ CHILDREN is RECORD OF THIS
OKLAHOMA NEGRO.

Tulsa county, Oklahoma, lays claim
to the champion father of the United
States in Charles Roberts, an aged
Creek negro, who is the parent of
~ children, 81 sons and II daughters.
OF this number SO are alive and re-
side on allotments granted them by
the government in the vicinity of
their fathers holdings a few miles
northeast of Broken Arrow. The Rob
erts family owns almost an entire
township, every acre of which came
to them as a freedman's right.
Roberts is now 70 years of age. He
has been married three times. He
has son named for every president
of the United States and some of the
rulers of Europe. Thomas Jefferson,
Abraham Lincoln and Napoleon Bona
parte are triplets. George Washing
ton@and Harriet Beecher Stowe are
twins.
While Theodore Roosevelt was
president he heard of the remarkable
family and three times extended the
aged negro an invitation to bring his
army of offspring to Washington for
national exhibit, with all expenses
paid Roberts accepted one invita-
ton, although he took but eight OF
his children. On the eve OF his jour
ney Theodore Roosevelt was born.
The aged negro loves to recount the
wonders he experienced on his trip
to the national capital. Although he
had the time of his life, as he eX-
presses it, he was 'pow'ful" glad to
get back to the then Indian Terri
tory.

new POSTAL Law.
Money Orders Can Be Cashed at Any
Money Order ONCE.

Washington, Feb. by President
Wilson's signature the bill to regu-
late the payment of postal money or
ders today became a law of the land.
The new statute will not become eff
fective until rules and regulations
for its operation are promulgated by
the postmaster general. This prob
ably will require several months.
Immediately following the signing
OF the bill Postmaster General Burle-
son appointed committee Of posta;
officials to prepare rules and regula-
tions to carry the law into effect. The
bill provides for the issuance Of postal
money orders payable at any money
order Office even though drawn Oh a
specified Office and will, according to
the postmaster general, greatly in
crease the volume of postal money or
der business and prove a great help
to the business public, giving as 1t
does to the postal money order the
virtues and convenience Of a bank
draft.
Figures made public today by the
postmaster general show that in the
last fiscal year nearly 91,0OO,000 do
mestic money orders were issued,
amounting to almost $625,OOO.00O.
The net income to the postoffice de-
partment on account of money orders
issued was over $5,0OO.O00. At pres
ent there are more than 5000 money
order offices in the United States.
