FAMOUS "WHITE- ACTRE8S WHO
IS REALLY A NEGRO.
According to Hay Standard Baker
i:i the April American Magizine there
ere many supposedly white persons
of great prominence In this country
who are really negroes. Ho says:
"There are morn such cases than
while people Imagine. 1 know of
scores of them. A well known white
actress, whose name, of course, I can
not give, when she goes to boston, sec
retly visits her colored relatives. A

to take his bav said directly:
"Hello, Bob."
"A* boys they had gone to the

Of course no white people know she

tell. Occassional]/ she drives to
certain store, dismisses her carrleage
and walks ou foot to the home of her
mother and sisters.
K. "Only A few years ago the newspap
ers were filled for a day or two with
the story of a girl who had been at
Vjissar College, and upon graduation
by merest accident It was discovered
that she was a negro. A similar cacc
arose only last 3ummer at a Chicago
University.
, " Some Mulattoes I know of, one
prominent Wall Street Broker, have
‘crossed tho line" by declaring that
ther aro Mexicans, Brazilians, Spanish
or French; one says ho Is an Armen
ian. Under a foreign name they are
readily accepted among white people
where, as negroes, they would bo Bl
atantly rejected. No one, of course,
can estimate the number of men and
women with Negro blood who have
thus 'gone over to white; but It mu it
be larie."

When any man or woman, out of puro gratitude, writes us a letter, com-
| menting upon the benefits ho has received from the use of Peruna, when
he does this without any solicitation or remuneration of any sort, and fur
nishes us a recent photograph, so that his identity and responsibility In
the matter is beyond question, then do we consider a testimonial available
for onr advertising purposes.
We are at the present time publishing many hundreds of testimonials.
We give the name and address in full of each one of these people.
