OH THE IRON ORE FRONT
Alfred Nelson, up at Stambaugh, Michigan, is a "North West

Men like Nelson have a deep sense of loyalty. Their country
must be served. But Nelson has four other reasons for carrying
on—his uniformed sons. Alfred, Jr. is an army lieutenant; Dick
is a staff sergeant; Bob’s a sergeant in the Coast Artillery; Don
is a private first class.
Stationed in the iron ore region, A1 is a mighty important mam
His uncanny ability to keep rolling stock in top condition helps
to move the thousands of ore-laden cars that pass through his
yards. Aud moving iron ore is a real job, for this is the precious
material from which guns, ships and tanks are made, as well as
most other fighting tools needed for victory.
Car Foreman Nelson represents a group of valiant, hard-work
ing, conscientious railroaders. Though far from the fighting

front, these men work day ana nignt
in freedom’s cause. Their vigilance
never relaxes — come what may, they
keep vital materials on the move.

four sons. We’re proud of them and
those thousands of other "North

never call it "quits” until the things
they are fighting for are achieved!

The burning of Doc Mathews’

This Flour Helps You Bake
THE BEST BREAD EVER
I ...OtUMt 'footS
10 STEPS TO
1. USE FRESH YEAST. Old compressed,
or dry veast that has been stored too
lone will not leaven bread, or at best.
Rives poor results.
3. SCALD ALL LIQUIDS. If you don’t
certain microbes may Interfere with
action of yeast.
3. USE ENOUGH LIQUID for easy
kneadlnc. Stiff doueh rises slowly, and
If not allowed to bake thoroughly,
causes poorly flavored bread. Mother’s
Best Flour has high gluten content,
needs more liquid than most flours.
This saves you money, for you use
less flour.
t. KNEAD DOUGH JUST ENOUGH—
until It Is smooth, elastic—doesn’t
stick to an unfloured board. Over
kneaded dough gets stlckv. does not
rise well. Under-kneaded dough causes
poor-textured, streaked bread.
B. USE GOOD FLOUR — Use Mother’s
Best. Gives you a loaf with sweet,
delicate flavor, smooth, close-knit
texture, snowy white slices and a rich
folden brown crust. This flour toss
urthcr—elves more loaves per sack!
6. LET IT RISE ENOUGH—but not to*
much. Over-rising causes poor flavor,
IKirous loaf, pale crust and crumble*
easily Under-rising gives small, flat
loaf dark crust with blisters lust un
der the crust.
7 HAVE YOUR OVEN RIGHT. In to*
cool an oven bread continues to riss
too long. In too not an oven breat
does not rise enough, crusts over St
once, or crust may even break.
8. REMOVE RRKID FEOM TINS as
soon as you take R from the oven,
place on racks so air circulates over
entire loaf. Quick cooling keeps breat
moist longer.
• NEVER WRAP HOT BREAD, as ft
will mold quickly. Frequently scald a*
containers used for storing bread.
10. KEEP ALL UTENSILS SPOTLESS
LY CLEAN, and In hot weather ster
ilize nil bread baking equipment 1*
boiling water.
