Chicago, July 12.-When Mr.. and
Mrs. Isaac Danielson, 1909 Osgood
street, were confronted with the prob
lem as to which of them should be the
family bread-winner, they decided
that as the wife had the greatest
earning capacity she should make the
living. Isaac agreed to stay at home
and do the cooking, dishwashing,
mending and care for the baby.
Danielson stood six feet in his
stockings, and tipping the scales at
1877 pounds, meel1ly donned an apron
and for several months has performed
the household duties. Mrs. Danielson
small Of stature, but imbued with the
spirit of business, has proved q sue
cess as a breadwinner.
Danielson was visited today while
he was at the tub doing the weekly
washing. He is a giant in size and
can perform the most arduous labor
without fatigue. He told how his
wife had come to that point where she
earned more in a week than he did IN
a month.
He decided that as he had failed to
make good his wife should have
trial.
He has a deep respect for homework
and offered to wager that not one
man In a thousand realized how diff
cult the work about a house was. He
says he has been employed in many
trades that require brain and Drawn,
but none of them equals housework.
He says ousework-cooking, scrub
bling. washing and tending the baby
Is harder more exhausting and soul
trying than boilermaking, blacksmith
ing, carrying the bod, or any other oc-
cupation Of which he has any knowl-
edge.
Mrs. Danielson is established in the
ladies' tailoring business and because
she is compelled to devote her entire
time to this business and unable to
find q girl who could care for the
house and the baby, Danielson volun-
teered to perform the service.
I have always been employed at the
hardest kind of labor" said Danielson,
and I have always thought that
housework was mere pastime. ! find
that doing the weekly washing prob
ably is the hardest task have ever
been asked to perform.
I have always been employed in
the capacity of laborer and the
wages have been small. We had trou-
bic in getting girl who could care for
the house as we would have It, They
all proved more expensive than my
wages would take care Of, and one day
when I was worried about the servant
problem the thought came to me sud
denly, Why not do the housework
myself?'
Quits Job, Gusts Servant.
Il quit my job without consulting
my wife that same night and wher
/ reached home I told my wife to dis
charge the girl. She told me that she
wouldn't think Of such a thing, but
when explained to her that I in.
tended doing the homework in the fu.
ture she consented.
Il cook three meals each day, care
for the baby, Clifford, who is years
old. keep the place tidy and fixed up
wash on Thursday. Then I scrub
wash windows and give the house e
good general cleaning each Saturday
find time in the afternoons to de
most OF my wife's shopping and hell
with odd Jobs around the workshop
in the evenings.
1t is the hardest work I have eve
performed, but I am going to sticl
to the homework, as my wife ha:
proved more capable of providing thar
I have"
