DANGER FROM CATARRH.

The most important feature about that very common complaint, catarrh in the head, is it's tendency to develop into some other more serious and dan gerous disease. The foul matter drop ping from the head into the bronchial tubes or lungs is very liable to lead to bronchitis or consumption. that destroy CT which causes more deaths in this country than any other disease. AS catarrh originates in impurities in the blood, local applications can do but little good. The common sense method ol treatment is to purify the blood, and tor this purpose there is no preparation superior to Hoods Sarsaparilla. Int powerful action of this medicine upor the blood expels every impurity, and by SO doing cures catarrh and gives healtl to the entire organism.

A TREAT FOR HOLIDAY BUYERS.

A TREAT FOR HOLIDAY BUYERS.
 Among the institutions to which the
 Litchfield citizens point with pride is the
 fine and complete jewelry store of E. l.. Pratt. And they may justly feel so, for in elegance, quality and quantity of stock, MT Pratt is excelled by few, even in the cities. Mir Pratt occupies two stores in the Pratt block, one being de- voted to the jewelry department, and store adjoining to holiday goods for children. A representative of THE BEE dropped in on MT Pratt, the other day, and was given chance to inspect his elegant stock. If one wishes to buy an expensive silver tea set, this is where he can be accommodated, for Mir Pratt has them from $l0 up as high as your pock- ct book will allow you to go. In the last few years there has been great ad- vancement made in these goods. The finest goods are hand engraved, and are very beautiful to look upon. MT Pratt has many novelties in vases. One de- sign had embossed work on the top of the vase. A novelty was an ink well, the standard being genuine pair of turkeys feet, silver plated. It was a sort of pin cushion, pen holder and ink we'll combined. A beautiful thing was a combination fruit, cream and sugar dish, of decorated porcelain and silver. In the cities ''chaffing' parties are all the rage now, and MT Pratt, up to the times, has chaffing dishes for those who want them. Speaking of watches, MI Pratt's store is headquarters. To gair an idea of the way these goods have dropped in price it may be stated that z very pretty II karat gold watch tha
 formerly gold for $25, can now be bough
 for SIS. Mems watches run all the way
 from $6.50 up to the hundreds. If you
 taste runs toward diamonds MT Prat
 can accommodate you again. You cal
 buy diamond pin for 80, and yer.
