Iowa Man Seeks Shelter From Halley’s Comet in a Big Cave.

John Marlow, a farmer living near Council Bluffs, lowa, is so convinced that Halley’s comet will spread death and destruction on the earth that he is digging a cave in which his family will take refuge at the time the earth is passing through the tail of the comet. The feature to the cave is an air tight door, by which he expects to keep out the poisonous atmosphere. In addition to himself and his family, he will take two horkes, two cows, a dog, a cat and a number of chickens into the cave. To feel strong, have good appetite and digestion, sleep soundly and enjoy life, use Burdock Blood Bitters, the great system tonic and builder.
