This board represents the public in a

Smoking Not a Factor.

Mr.. Trippett explains In reference to
the dream i'm which his former existences
and his hanging for an alleged murder
were revealed that he believes il is quite
as possible TO-DAY to receive information
in dreams and by revelations as IL was in
olden times provided we show our will
ingness TO follow the truth when We re-
ceive il. He said IL had been suggested
10 him that probably the dream wherein
his reincarnations were revealed was due
TO excessive smoking. and he explains that
on March 4 he received through another
dream information which showed him that
smoking, though il did not stop him from
arriving at spiritual truth" with great eff
fort had nothing 10 do with his getting
such information. hut in fact retarded the
facility with which he arrived at occul;
knowledge.
Since this most recent revelation Mr..
Trippett says he has stopped smoking,
although he had the habit for thirty-seven
wears While there are many in Mont
clair who scott at Mr.. Trippett's beliefs
and theories regarding occultism he ad-
yances his arguments with much logic.
lie believes that his forthcoming dem
onstratiOn before the Board of Health
and the doctors of Montclair Of the highly
developed pituitary nerve of the eyeless
fish will be productive of the dissemina-
ton Of more knowledge about that little
known but wonderfully important detail
Of the human makeup. He believes also
that its study by scientists and surgeons
and the sympathetic Interpretation of the
results OF these Investigations by the
human race will bring about greater
enirituality in the world
