Cedar Rapids Republican: The
Des Moines Capital has made a
suggestion, which has been made
before, and which has great deal
of merit in it. 1t is that in case
man has his building insured for
81, 600, and the insurance company
settles the claim for 500, that the
premium on the other $500 should
be returned to the man who paid
it. Az the case now stands, a man
pays the premium on 81, ,OCO worth
OF insurance and gets only 800.
The company that insured him
has clearly taken from him more
premium than it deserves. There
is an injustice in the matter which
is apparent to all. The valued
policy Legislation which is now
pending before the governor has
grown out of this Injustice But
the question is whether the plan
suggested by the Capital is not the
better method to proceed to render
justice.
A unique institution for the
treatment of sufferers of tubercu-
losis is being built near Palermo,
Sicily. Its site is magnificent
one, and the edi6ce ;tself will be
beautiful aud will be surrounded
by temples, grottoes and marble
benches, and at night the grounds
will be- Illuminated by thousands
of lamps. The medical director
has made special study of the
fresh AIR and ample diet system of
dealing with phthisis in Germany
says the New York Tribune. A
French chef will be an important
member of his staff. A yacht Of
800 tons will also be at the SER
vice of those who desire il. Ac-
commodstions for hundred will
be afforded.
