entire contract eAould be contained

airy man of small means, who is
honest, and does not conceal any
thing when he applies for insurance,
should know under what conditions
he is paying his premiums. The CO.
insurance clause for dwellings and
household furniture, he claimed,
should be forbidden, for the reason
that the average man does not un-
derstand the terms. He commended
also that the 10 day clause as to a
place being unoccupied worked an
injustice, as many a vacant residence
was amply protected, pointing to the
fact that when person closed his
house in the vacation period, there
is less risk than when occupied, and
when the occupants are moving
about. "A temporary breach not re-
sulting in loss which does not in
crease the risk, he claimed, should
therefore, in no way void the policy.
