after you call _puts, hl automatically points to the byte following the 0
so you could do this:

ld hl, String				;hl points to start of string
call _puts				;display first line
;maybe call _newline or move cursor or something...
call _puts				;display second line, which hl already points to

hope this is what you meant.
