KING HUMBERr of Italy is vegetar-
ian. He lives entirely on vegetables
and fruits. The doctors have forbid
den him to drink coffee, and his bever-
age is Bordeaux and plenty of water.
The king never feels so well as when
his fare is bread, potatoes and oranges.
Peaches are his favorite edible. The
queen has made repeated attempts to
become a vegetarian, but has finally
given up in despair, being fond of a
generous diet.
