As our resources dwindle, many items are now being recycled. This can mean extra money for you! As forests vanish (America's "paper habit" destroys over 2,000,000 trees a day!), there is a growing need to recycle paper products. You can save and sell old newspapers, magazines, corrugated cardboard, computer paper, etc. Glass bottles and metals are also being reused. Industry needs aluminum (cans, TV dinner trays, foil etc.), lead, copper, brass, iron, steel, stainless steel, bi-metal cans, insulated electric wire, etc., etc. For the simplest way to dispose of these materials, look in your yellow pages under the following categories: "Recycling Centers", "Junk Dealers", "Scrap Metals" and Waste Paper". Unwanted clothing and household items and other discards can be sold at garage sales, neighborhood yard sales, flea markets, church benefits, etc. Or, you can donate these items to local charities (see "Thrift Shops" in your yellow pages), and then declare them on your income tax as a " tax deductible donation", Don't throw things into the garbage can.

How to lose weight - and Keep it Off The U.S. government says that 2 out of 3 Americans would like to lose weight. Fad diets are ineffective because they do not go to the heart of the overweight problem. And those that do lose weight with a fad diet, almost always gain it back again - and more! The formula for losing weight is quite simple: To lose weight you have to use more calories than your present diet provides. Those that work hard, such as laborers, can eat more calories of food without gaining weight. But, those that are less active in their job and daily activities, must learn to consume less calories. To lose weight - and keep it off - you should have a guide that shows the calories of all foods. One of the best is "The Official Calorie & Carbohydrate Counter" - No. 345. To get a copy. send $1.00 to : Globe Mini Mags div., Globe Communications, P. O. Box 702, Rouses Point, Ny 12979. It will prove to be a good investment, if you are really serious about losing weight.

How to Turn Free Grocery "Store Coupons" Into Cash Save all the "cents off" coupons that you can. These "store coupons" are as good as gold. If you know how to use them. And they're free! Simply clip and save them from all of the newspapers and magazines that you read. One of the easiest ways to use these coupons to best advantage is to trade them for other coupons, for products you want. As example, let us say that you have accumulated several dollars worth of coupons for dog food - but you don't have a dog. Maybe a friend, neighbor or relative would be very happy to use those coupons when they buy dog food. Just trade them for grocery store items that you and your family want and use. This type of "bartering" can work in other ways too. Let us say that you want a certain item, but don't have the ready cash. Try to make a deal with the store owner. Maybe he will accept a quantity of store coupons in exchange for items you want. The rate of exchange should be about 10 to 1 - $10.00 worth of store coupons towards $1.00 of the purchase price of the product or service you want. This type of exchange agreement can best be made with smaller stores. As example, we know a lady who does a lot of sewing and needlework. She gets all of her supplies from a nearby sewing center, by saving and trading store coupons for her yarn, thread, needles, etc. Another lady we know, recently traded a handful of store coupons for a like-new toaster at a neighborhood garage sale. You can also sell store coupons by mail for cash! For free details, send a self-addressed stamped envelope to: Store coupons - Dept. 30R, Box 6466, San Francisco, Ca 94101.
