Louisville seems very much stirred
mp over the incontestibility of GER
tain insurance policies on the life OF
a citizen recently found dead. In
regard to the suicide clause OF in
surance policies, the courts have vir-
tually decided in this state, as well
as many others, that the clause is of
no force IL the deceased was mental
ly unbalanced, and most juries are
soon convinced that n man must be
deranged before he will take his life.
Few policies are Knocked out ON the
suicide clause these days. Insurance
companies seem to be regarded by
the average jury something as rail.
roads. They ought to pay all claims
simply because they nave the money.

city, He has never been reported for any
violation of either and has always con-
Quoted an orderly and quiet saloon.
