the lapse of Jive years from their date, provided the Premiums, ordinary or extra, stipu-
lated by the Policy be duly paid.
2. Certificates granted on application declaring Policies exempt from payment of extra
premium for travelling or residing beyond the limits of Europe, or for entering into
Military or Naval Service, and from the necessity of applying for License to do so, from
