COLORED STREET
CLEANER DIED AT 70
Funeral of Henry Isom Viii
Be Held Sunday
Afternoon.

Following an illness of several
weeks, Henry Isom, coiored man,
died at his home on North Middle
street. His death was caused by drop
sy from which he had been suffering
for some time. He had been bedridden
for more than a month, and during
that time his condition was so criti-
cal that his death was expected at
any time. His eldest son who has been
residing in St. Louis, was summoned
to his fathers bedside four weeks ago
and has been in the Cape since that
time.
Isom was 20 years old. He was a
street cleaner and had been working
on Broadway for a number of years
until the majority of street cleaners
we're removed by the City Council.
He was one of the most respected col
ored men of the city and stood high
in Odd Fellow circles of which he was
a member for many years.
The funeral will be held Sunday
afternoon.
The funeral services will be con-
Quoted at the African Methodist
Church by Rev. Smith, pastor Of the
church. A son and daughter who are
living in Chicago are expected to ar
rive for the funeral. They had not been
communicated with up to a late hour
last night. Besides these two and the
son, who arrived from st. Louis sew
eral weeks ago, Isom leaves another
daughter who, has been making her
home with her father.

KIDNEY DISEASE
Is FATAL

kidnecO Is a Wonderful Protection
When disease gets into the kidneys
it is just as certain to take a person
off as leprosy, unless it is checked
before it goes toe far. If people just
knew the danger that lurked in dis
eases of these delicate organs they
would be as careful of them as they
are of their eyes. People who have
sound kidneys should know how to
protect and take care of them. Kid
neco is a sure remedy for treating
kidney diseases because it removes
the poisons that collect in the blood
through the inactive kidneys.
Just go to any drug store and get
about a dozen Kidneco Tablets. They
o inexpensive and will relieve you.
