Its policies as now issued contain no restriction as to rosidonco, travol or occupation, as to habits of life, or as to mannor, timo or place of death. The sole condition is that if premiums are paid the Company will certainly pay tho policy immediately in tho ovent it becomes a claim by death, either in one sum or a limitod numbor of in stalments at option or insured, and thus leave a widow or an est alt) a legacy and not a Inw-suit.
